You dont want to solve any problem. You want to make people suffer
What problem are you solving by smugly standing “in the middle” and snorting up your own farts here?
I oppose the inital idea of building high speed rail line next to a highway with only goal of making drivers feel bad on purpose as I dont see shitting on a minor group of radicals a meaningful way of helping whole society
I want transportation system to be improved for people’s welldom and without trying to impose any views sacrifiing quality in the process
“See these losers on train? They built 20% longer route only because they wanted to make passagers see losers on highway”
Your persuasion method (which doesn’t even matter since people here already support mass transit) is to be a smug condescending centrist douche.
It’s useless. You’re useless.![emoji post-hog post-hog](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/46989a2f-1e13-4a22-acac-c0522372e587.png)
You are in a room where everyone already agrees that high speed rail is good.
Someone makes a (very fucking obvious) joke about how high speed rail is so good we should build them next to highways to make carbrains jealous.
You: um actually we shouldn’t try to make people feel bad. Making people jealous is bad policy decision. Doing that would make the train less efficient too.
Everyone else in the room: yes we know you joyless nerd.
?
People suffer from not optimal train route and see it as they drive on a highway
You are seizing on a specific part of a post that was making a joke and fixating on that one thing, which is why people are dunking on you.
yes, you’ve figured it out. well done.
Pollution kills 9 million people annually.
“suffer”
We can do both at the same time. I got two hands.
and thousands of ceramics!
Suffer how exactly?
I am suffering because you have reminded me that I am a ding dong.
Por que no los dos
